Historical Wonders Tower of Pisa Bookends

Not only do bookends fill a need to hold your books in place, they also serve to make your bookshelves more interesting. This fabulous pair of bookends depict The Tower Of Pisa in Italy. Cast in resin and beautifully finished to look like stone. From The Historical Wonders collection.

In the past it was widely believed that the inclination of the Tower was part of the project ever since its beginning, but now we know that it is not so. The Tower was designed to be "vertical" (and even if it did not lean it would still be one of the most remarkable bell towers in Europe), and started to incline during its construction.
